- Recent studies revealed that the diurnal activity of the dholes had the highest temporal overlap with leopards and the lowest with clouded leopards.
- The study was conducted in Assam's Manas National Park.
- This study reveals that the overlapping prey availability or habitat suitability could dictate a positive association between dholes and tigers, facilitating co-existence or even cooperative behaviours between the two species of carnivores.
- Animals, plant species, and populations within the same or overlapping geographical areas are referred as Sympatric.
- The dhole or Asiatic wild dog (Cuon alpinus) is the only endangered wild pack-living canid in the tropical Indian forests.
